Jessie M. Short, chairman, said the Letters 10 congressmen urged that the OPA he continued as the price-governing hody. The committees do not want the func tion transferred to the agricul ture department. The committees contend I hat "ceiling prices of milk In this area were unlustifiahly high .when established" and that prices in the last two years to local milk producers have been Increas ed 65 to 100 per cent which is "far in advance of the 'general local living cost Increase of 28 per cent." They also claim that the situation facing the milk industry does not differ from that lacing practically every other in dustrya situation "not rcmedl- ed by any single price increase." The committees contend that "impartial auditors for OPA" have proved that "dairymen are still making money." The letters said nothing of the protest by grocers at The Dalles, Redmond and Bend against OPA lowering the retail margin on Milk to what the grocers contend is 50 per cent below the cost of doing business.

EIGHTH AIR FOIH'F, HEA1KJUAHTKHS IN BRITAIN, Aug 21 -(API -German airmen are Hying captured American Flying Fortresses alongside our formations over Fiance and Ger many, but thus far base made no attempt to Interfere with American operations, it was dis closed here today. What the enemy's plan is has not emerged - perhaps the hope Is to sneak one or more ships In to the raiding squadrons and op en the guns against all those about. The American system of iden tifying Fortresses among each other is being changed at irreg ular intervals, however, and t he formations fly so closely togeth er that there Is little opportunity for a successful effort to sneak Into them. So far the German-flown cap tives have been kept a good dis tance away. The .SO caliber ammunition of the type used by the Fortresses is not manufactured in Germany and If the enemy ittempted to change the guns and mounts in the captured ships it would he a mstly and doubtful business. The use of one Fortress to at tack another also Is not very fea sible iM'cause the fourenglned bomber is not designed for that work. The Americans lost about -I."i0 Fortresses in one year of oiera lions and of lids number prob ably 50 ier cent got down in fair ly good condition.

The unopposed conquest of Kiska was carried out by Cana dian and American troops under direct command of Vice Admir al Thomas C. Kinkaid, command er of the North Pacific fleet, with guidance from Admiral Nimitz, commander In chief of the Pa cific fleet. Costly Blow to Japan Kiska's fall could rate as one of Japan's more expensive de feats, for in addition to estab lishing a large garrison on the island, the Japanese had poured supplies for months before the blockade became sufficiently ef fective so that the only materials received were those smuggled by submarines. It was costly, also, in ship loss es, for 20 warships and 30 non combatant vessels were sunk, probably sunk or damaged in the Aleutians. Of the combatant ships put out of action, seven destroyers were sunk, three probably sunk, and five damaged. Seven cruisers were damaged, one submarine probably was lost and three were damaged. Two other warships undesignated by type were sent to the bottom and one was dam aged. The non-combatant ship loss- ROSEBURG UNDERTAKING CO. Established 1901 M. E.

Tokyo's Peril Increased. jj How Kiska will be used by the allied forces already has been In dicated in action. Three times In recent weeks bombers of the Aleu tians command struck at Para mushlro, northernmost Japanese base in the Kurlle islands, a thou sand miles from Kiska. These raids were trail blazers, nocntin the evil weather for which the Aleutians are notorious, many more will follow in the months to come as the campaign in the north is coordinated with the blows against the opposite arc of the Japanese defense perimeter in the Southwest Pacific. Eventu ally it is expected that Tokyo itself will be raided by long range bombers from the Aleu tians and American naval forces, already dominant in the North Pacific, may strike at enemy bases vulnerable from the sea as strategy dictates. f GEO.
